MacEwan University’s student publication. Honest reporting, quality media, and good vibes.
There’s an ongoing argument out there about short books. “They don’t count,” people say, “they’re not real books. They’re just stories or essays bound into a book.” I beg to differ — short books hold value. Authors write themselves into corners in the best way...
French cuisine, as diverse in its culinary expanse as it is known for its nuance, is perceived by many chefs and amateur cooks as one of the most difficult cuisines to master. While there are definitely techniques that a home cook would deem too daunting even to...
While students took time off from school during the summer, several MacEwan University residents remained busy on campus. The rooftop of Building 5 is home to several honeybee hives that were first installed in 2016 as a partnership between Campus Services and the...
It’s October, which means everyone lines up to drink… bubble tea! Move over pumpkin spice lattes, there’s a new fall drink in town. We encountered some incredible highs and some dangerously close spit-takes on our quest to find the best bubble tea that...
The sun’s still out for now, but soon enough, the leaves will fall, Starbucks’ PSL will be all the talk, and — undeniably — we’ll all be wondering what to wear. As the temperatures drop and the layers pile on, it can be difficult to style your clothes. Don’t get me...
I don’t know what makes the fall season so unique; it could be the leaves falling, the golden tint that flows through the air, or the beginning of the semester, but the fall season is best known for comforting — and sometimes haunting — classic movies. There’s no...
The pandemic has brought on lots of unforeseen changes, but for university students, one of the biggest impacts has been the pandemic’s influence on their career paths and the job market in general. There’s no doubt that two years of online schooling and sporadic...
Back to school comes with an entirely new meaning to the word “busy,” from stressing about finding the right classrooms to making your first university friends, working a part-time job, buying textbooks, and of course, finding the time to eat so the “hanger”...
The alarm on his phone simply labeled “meds” pings as he heads to the Shopper’s Drug Mart where his favourite staff know him by name. For the past three years, Christopher Berger has gone to the same North Edmonton pharmacy, lockbox in hand, to pick up his...
Brew and Bloom is one of those exquisite places you enter and are immediately taken away by its beauty. The café, flower and gift shop is a women-led business that serves the Edmonton community differently. This storefront location at 10550 115 St. opened in 2021,...
Whether sitting on a patio with friends, by a fire while camping, or on a hammock with a good book, a favourite drink can change a good day into a great day, and it doesn’t always have to include alcohol. With the summer fast approaching, we have three options that...
I have always loved my Ukrainian heritage. Many recipes have been passed down from my great grandparents to me, and I am forever grateful that I get to experience the authentic cuisine my background has to offer. As many would know, what makes Ukrainian food so...
Chances are that when you hear the phrase “meal prep,” you don’t get overly excited. I was in the same boat not too long ago. I recently started meal prepping a few times a month, and I am here to tell you that meal prep is actually exciting and has many benefits...
My first introduction to roller skating and roller rinks was when I watched the (totally underrated) 2011 movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules with my little brothers. Even though I was a little grossed out by the second-hand pizza the seventh graders were...
When it comes to my morning coffee, I’m pretty simple. My go-to is an americano with oat milk or an almond milk latte, but every now and then I like to switch it up; Edmonton’s Sweet Treats and Latte Festival let me do just that. This year, the festival took place...
